You will be disappointed with the signals from any omni antenna with these satellites.
That is my experience.
Sorry to bring bad news.
A fairly small directional antenna will make you much happier.

Looking for a simple omnidirectional antenna for AO-7 (B), FO-29 and VO-52, I came across a description of a J-Pole - dual band, single mast antenna, done by Dick Jansson, WD4FAB several years ago.
This looks like the solution for my situation. Before I start building, I would like to know, if somebody here has experience with this antenna.
Thanks and 73
